As presented above, the drift rate for temperature is calculated from pre and post calibrations as -0.00277 degrees-C/year. Hypothesizing the linearity in T-sensor drift, the error of water temperature is tried to estimate using the drift rate.
From pre-calibration date, 06 Jan.,1999 until the last day of MR99-K02 on 30 May,1999, it takes about 0.39 year. Then the error of water temperature data observed by CTD is estimated as -0.0011 degrees-C for the cruise of MR99-K02.

As presented above, the drift rate for temperature is calculated from pre and post calibrations as 0.00041 degrees-C/year. Hypothesizing the linearity in T-sensor drift, the error of water temperature is tried to estimate using the drift rate.
From pre-calibration date, 06 Jan.,1999 until the last day of MR99-K02 on 30 May,1999, it takes about 0.39 year. Then the error of water temperature data observed by CTD is estimated as 0.0002 degrees-C for the cruise of MR99-K02.

As presented above, the drift rate for pressure is calculated from pre and post calibrations as -0.01 dbar/year. Hypothesizing the linearity in P-sensor drift, the error of pressure is tried to estimate using the drift rate.
From pre-calibration date, 17 May, 1994 until the last day of MR99-K02 on 30 May,1999, it takes about 5.04 year. Then the error of pressure data observed by CTD is estimated as -0.1 dbar for the cruise of MR99-K02.

As presented above, the drift rate for pressure is calculated from pre and post calibrations as 0.09 dbar/year. Hypothesizing the linearity in P-sensor drift, the error of pressure is tried to estimate using the drift rate.
From pre-calibration date, 17 May, 1994 until the last day of MR99-K02 on 30 May,1999, it takes about 5.04 year. Then the error of pressure data observed by CTD is estimated as 0.5 dbar for the cruise of MR99-K02.

(a) Calibration date

Pre-calibration : 17 Jul.,1998 at SBE D.O.-sensor
Post-calibration was not carried out by loss of the sensor.
